Good morning, I would like to buy Valeria Luiselli's new book, Beginning, middle, end.
In my country there are two paperback editions and two hardback editions available (US and UK editions). The paperback editions are priced the same (€ 22,99), while the US hardback edition is € 39,95 (9798217208319, $ 35 in the US AFAIK), and the UK hardback edition is € 27,95 (9780008804800, £ 18,99 in the UK).
I love beautiful editions and I would like to ask if the US edition is worth the premium? Or are the books roughly the same?
Thank you very much in advance!
